Deploying a subfolder to GitHub Pages

Sometimes you want to have a subdirectory on the master branch be the root directory of a repository’s gh-pages branch. This is useful for things like sites developed with Yeoman, or if you have a Jekyll site contained in the master branch alongside the rest of your code.

For the sake of this example, let’s pretend the subfolder containing your site is named dist.

Step 1

Remove the dist directory from the project’s .gitignore file (it’s ignored by default by Yeoman).

ANNOUNCEMENT

I have moved this over to the Tech Interview Cheat Sheet Repo and has been expanded and even has code challenges you can run and practice against!

PSQL

Magic words:

psql -U postgres

Some interesting flags (to see all, use -h or --help depending on your psql version):

-E: will describe the underlaying queries of the \ commands (cool for learning!)
-l: psql will list all databases and then exit (useful if the user you connect with doesn't has a default database, like at AWS RDS)

	// # Mocha Guide to Testing
	// Objective is to explain describe(), it(), and before()/etc hooks

	// 1. `describe()` is merely for grouping, which you can nest as deep
	// 2. `it()` is a test case
	// 3. `before()`, `beforeEach()`, `after()`, `afterEach()` are hooks to run
	// before/after first/each it() or describe().
	//
	// Which means, `before()` is run before first it()/describe()
